abandoned vehicle Q?
Humble Nuto 53 replied to lagwagon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
in minnesota: step one Driver Vehicle Services and get a Title Search, costs about 4.00 shows all who owned it step two send certified mail to last owner listed stating your intention, when you get it back as undeliverable, take it to the courthouse. step three go to courthouse and file for abandon vehicle (if youre cheap you can file another form which delcares the 135.00 fee a hardship, and lets you file free). (vehicle has to have tabs expired for at least a year, but they dont seem to pay much attention to any of the requirements) step four Driver Vehicle Services, perform title transfer into your name, tabs/plates... get drunk and smash into a dumpster outside the liquor store -
Can't find left tensioner spring?
Humble Nuto 53 replied to David C's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the spring is a silly thing in this application. once the bolt it tight, no spring is needed.... tension by hand, tighten bolt FLING THE SPRING! be free! shed excess parts! -

Burning Smell in 4WD
Humble Nuto 53 replied to exister99's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
check the carrier bearing on the drive shaft, in the volvos the rubber shrinks, then it kinda rolls around in there with the driveshaft...... makes a nice rubbery smell for a while also another handy method for finding hot smells is dive under while the car is still hot and stinky and feel the drive train... i like those cheap cotton work gloves from menards and the smell of cookin meat too
